Michele. "Stanford Graduate School of Business." Technology Is One Tool To Improve Education Levels Worldwide. Stanford Business School, 25 June 2011. Web. 12 July 2012. This author made an excellent point about tailoring the technology to how each student learns such as a math program that adjusts as you go based on your skill level. It also was very interesting to find out that because of technology being used more in Universities, more teens want to go to college and receive a higher education. This also talks about how you have to keep up with the changes in society. You cant just sit back and watch, you have to change to keep up. The service can "predict in advance if you're going to fail at a concept before you ever see it." If so, it deploys a more appropriate learning strategy, said Jose Ferreira, the New York-based company's founder and chief executive officer (Chandler). The resulting free-market competition fuels quality and innovation, he believes. "The companies have to make the students happy," Alcalay said. "If I don't provide a good service, my student goes out to my competitor (Chandler)." I do not feel like this source would be a great one for my paper. It was hard to find out the information in it because it was more of a collection of opinions than an informative article. GEIST, EUGENE. "The Game Changer: Using Ipads In College Teacher Education Classes." College Student Journal 45.4 (2011): 758-768. Education Research Complete. Web. 11 July 2012.

This source is very informative. I liked how the author talked about in the future there will be a time where the young children dont remember growing up without a smart phone or tablet device. Schools, such as the George Fox University of Oregon, are thinking of only using iPads to help students learn in the classroom. This author also states that many teachers are more excited to incorporate technology into their learning and sometimes makes their job easier. Teachers are also starting to use more e books and encourage students themselves to get the e book rather than a text book. Finally Mathis reports that at Abilene Christian University, in Texas, Dr. Ian Shepherd has designed his fall 2010 Econ 261 class to incorporate a digital textbook from McGraw-Hill as well as PDFs of supplemental texts. He's perhaps most excited about the No Advance NOtice (NANO), an in-house assessment tool that lets him instantly quiz the entire class, which he believes will draw reticent students into classroom discussions (Geist) I think that this is a great source. It has great information and about many different topics of technology in education. I do feel this author had a strong understanding of this issue and did well conveying it to his audience. This source was worth my time because of the vast amount of information it contains.
